Generic Tricor vs Brand Tricor
The most frequently asked question many of our customers ask is “what’s the difference between the brand and the generic?” Well truth is there differences are minimal. Both medications contain the medical ingredient Fenofibrate. Fenofibrate is marketed by Abbott as Tricor and Trilipix in the USA only; Tricor is known as Lipidil in Canada and in the rest of the world. Keep in mind that Blue sky drugs is a global pharmacy and your order of Tricor may have an alternate name depending on its country of origin; an alternate name DOES NOT make the medication a generic. Generic Tricor or Fenofibrate is manufactured outside of an Abbott facility; this is the biggest difference between Tricor and Fenofibrate. Generic Fenofibrate and Tricor are identical in dose, strength, safety, efficacy, chemical makeup and therapeutic use. At Blue Sky Drugs, we stand behind our products 100% and only provide you with the highest quality products from fully licensed pharmacies. If you have any questions regarding the generic manufacturers for Tricor or have any concerns feel free to contact us, call toll-free: 1-866-995-7387 or by email at: CustomerService@BlueSkyDrugs.com.
How Fenofibrate Works
Fenofibrate is a medication primarily used to treat individuals with abnormal cholesterol levels; it is also the active medicinal ingredient found in Tricor. Fenofibrate works by lowering LDL cholesterol which is known as “bad cholesterol” and triglycerides which are known to cause health problems if not under control. It also increases good cholesterols or HDL which is essential to good health. Fenofibrate can be taken alone or with “statins” as directed by your doctor.

Fenofibrate Guidelines
Fenofibrate is not for everyone, make sure you tell your doctor about any medical conditions you may have and disclose all medications you are taking as these factors may affect the way you should take this medication. Individuals with liver function problems need to be closely monitored by a doctor as Fenofibrate may affect the liver. Those with Kidney problems may need to take lower doses depending on the severity of kidney function; patients who are undergoing dialysis should not take Fenofibrate. Women who are still in childbearing years are to use strict birth control methods, if pregnancy occurs, stop taking this medication immediately and contact your doctor.
